Well, it started out good - picking up where Lariel left off. But this one was a disappointment for me for some reason. I've heard a lot of praise for this one, but for whatever reason it didn't do it for me. Good, but not great. It didn't need to be as long as it was. I felt like the author was trying to throw in too much fluff to hit a word count or something.

I would recommend trying the trilogy to you guys, but caution that it is not for everyone.
